Ok. I talked to Bill many times on the last cycle. I remember he was up in years but a true gentleman on air. RIP Bill

Wasn't 2525 in Washington state? He ran a big beam?? Or am I thinking of a different guy?

The absolute best version I've ever heard.. the last 5 minutes is awesome.

If your not dead set on mounting an omnidirectional vertical on a separate mast or stand off on your current tower you could consider a beam. A rear of boom mount yagi mounted to your mast below your Vquad could be an option. This would also give you the advantages of directivity and superior gain.

Due to heat and stability issues, I would stay clear of the radio w amp section built in stuff. I would go with a radio and separate amplifier. It might be more of a hassle to move from mobile to shack but I think it's worth the effort. Look into quick disconnects for your power leads...

Well... you can't fix stupid

Yes or a Sirio

Grounding a mag mount is a waste of time. If your headliner is out.. pop a hole in the roof.. good permanent mount.. quality antenna. Enjoy.

More times than not..Unfortunately.. when these things happen the media fails to report them. Guess it might not fit into the agenda. I will now take off my tin foil hat and climb back under my rock. 73

I missed this detail when reading the original post. Scratch my theory on the grow lights.. those would definitely be going on and off periodically.

Just going out on a limb here but... could the cameras be up to monitor the property and could be security for a grow operation? Grow lights have a long history of giving off tons of RF noise.. this is all speculation on my part. Best of luck on a resolution to your problem.

When all else fails... radio gets it done.

No major time dedicated to this contest.. busy weekend at home. Still managed 47 Qs. With my mults had 2,474 total points. Low power class, Analog only. Picked up a new grid in TN on 432. All in all not to bad considering bands kinda sucked and my 6 meter feed line is bad so only had 2-1296 to...

Thank you for sharing.

Nice looking hat! I was brought up in a steelers house. My dad proudly wore a coat with the 4 super bowl wins 75,76,79,80 on the back. He preached the gospel of the "steel curtain". He used to say "son, that's the working mans team!" He passed in 99 when I was 17 but it still resonates in my...

Steelers fan.. I feel your pain

What frequency? On vhf and especially uhf a few feet can be the deciding factor on a signal path due to line of sight...

They quit making the regular 2950cd a while back. Guess they burned through what inventory they had left on the higher power (more $) rigs and decided to pull the plug. That's a shame but it has lived a long life. 30+ years. I guess with the influx of Chinese stuff and continued QC issues this...

Go for it...you may decide to put a commercial broadcast amplifier in line someday...:ROFLMAO:

I would never waste my $ on hardline on anything under 50 mhz unless I had a ridiculously long run to my towers. I'm at around 100 ft total. 213 HF, lmr 400 6 meters, 1/2 inch hardline 144 beam. Lmr 400 2m/220/440 vertical and 7/8 hardline for 222,432,902 &1296 mhz. Lmr 600 flex for rotor loops...
